00:00:01.340 - 00:00:17.170

mixture control. We open and close uh, fuel at the carburetors down there. Now when we go to start the engine while we push the mixture in and she's all ready to fire up wing flaps. We can position those either in the opposition and we haven't off,

00:00:17.170 - 00:00:41.630

which is in the center 0.4 and oh, you're frankly The student pilot that flight instructor was teaching can, if he wants to become a qualified pilot in only 35 hours behind the wheel of an airplane, not a novice pilot as well as a professional, general aviation

00:00:41.630 - 00:01:58.970

offers an unusual kind of freedom, but that freedom already is being impaired at the small private airports they operate from airports that are already outgrowing their ability to operate. Mm hmm, mm hmm. We estimate that Buchanan field and another 5-8 years will have reached its

00:01:58.980 - 00:02:14.350

saturation. And so what do you do? You, you move further out and build another airport. And the satellite airport problem is one of the major problems. What about for the other general aviation airports, the time will come? I think when Small planes won't be able to

00:02:14.350 - 00:02:30.630

get into airports like San Francisco International? Yes, we're getting that now. 23 airports that are being proposed now to be declared. I guess you could say off limits to general aviation airplanes and San Francisco is one of these. So they all have to funnel into somewhere.

00:02:30.640 - 00:02:43.670

They're all going to have to go somewhere. And I think that we're going to have to face up to the construction of new satellite type airports and try to keep ahead of. The trouble with General aviation is that we have let it go too long. I've

00:02:43.670 - 00:02:59.270

been here for 23 years and it started out as you know, as a little country airport several years ago, but We've got congestion now on weekends, especially that you really wouldn't believe Buchanan field now is the 22nd busiest airport in the nation. And we have all

00:02:59.270 - 00:04:24.660

of the attendant problems that that the major airports are getting. Mm hmm a a mm hmm.
